our stuff that was in the vehicle, from her coloring books and stuff like that...

Coloring books. Sounds like they fit right in with the Portland crowd.

He went on to list several changes the city has implemented to improve downtown safety.

I should hope so! Those poor burglars could have cut themselves on all that glass. Fortunately there are plenty of lawyers who would be glad to sue the couple for that.

Yah, like I’m going to visit any other city, Detroit, Chicago, NY, Philadelphia, San Francisco, because they are all safe and never “ in the news” either.

Portland is where anachronistic hippies go to retire when they’re in their late 20s and early 30s. Bums with no jobs, no real skills and no penchants but self-indulgent nonsense. Strippers, geeks with green and purple hair. Anarchists, protestors and generally disposed to dislike anything about government or living with other parts of society.

Then, of course, there are also just the bums. My daughter lived there 2 years and will never go back. No one in their right mind would buy a million dollar home here and expect any kind of commensurate life to go with it.

Far too many people don’t know, or block all knowledge of, what’s happening in cities run by the hard left.

How could they be so stupid? Don’t they ever read anything other than the mainstream news media?

If you are a productive member of society, or you are non-violent, or you have never stolen anything, and you go into one of those liberal hellholes, you can expect to lose everything, with the blessing of the democrat politicians.

Our major cities are run by democrats and are violent hellholes.

They should have settled for visiting Portland, Michigan, instead. Just a short drive from Grand Rapids. They would have saved a lot of gas money.

How did they NOT KNOW that Portland was the epicenter for antifa? Did they not see the “summer of love” it inspired?

Well known that thieves target cars with out-of-state license plates. And rental cars. It’s a big problem in San Francisco, broken glass at the curb is evident daily. My daughter and son-in-law were visiting us from Iowa, got a rental car and wanted to explore SF. Windows busted out, and my granddaughter’s backpacks were stolen. On later visits here, I lent my crewcab truck to them rather than getting a rental, and there were no more problems with them driving into the city.

"Longer term, they’re working to restaff the Portland Police Bureau, deploying officers where they’ll have the most impact."

After years of denigrating the police, wouldn't only the most feebleminded want to join?

I was born and raised in Portland. Moved to Arizona in 1985 but would return to visit family for years after that. The city had gone way downhill by the mid-90s, and I think the last time I was there was around 2005. My 50th HS reunion was in 2022; no way was I going.

All my family is dead or moved away now, so I’ll probably never see Portland again. It was a really nice place in the 60s and 70s, even much of the 80s, but no more.

I know a liberal couple who sing the praises of Portland, denying the existence of crime in it after leaving there a year ago for Appalachia
